Directions

In a large bowl combine 2 cups flour, sugar, salt, and yeast.

Heat the milk with the butter or margarine until it reaches 115 degrees F (43 degrees C). Beat together with the eggs and vanilla. Then add the liquid mixture to the flour mixture. Beat at low speed with an electric mixer until flour is moistened. Increase speed to medium, and beat for 2 minutes. By hand stir in the remaining flour to make a medium stiff batter. Cover, and let rise for 1 hour.

Punch dough down, and place it in a greased 10 inch tube pan, cover and let rise for 45 minutes.

This is a wonderful example of an old-time tea bread-light,sweet and easy to make.An excellent choice for the first-time breadmaker and old pro alike. I must point out,however, that it is not a fried bread as it is described.It's more of a yeast cake. I served mine with homemade lemon curd and both recieved rave reviews.
